Description

Following revelations in the media, Tokyo's reputable Medical University has admitted that for 12 years, it manipulated entrance exam scores to restrict the number of female doctors. Pregnancy, maternity leave, raising children: in the eyes of the university's management, women are a "bad investment" for Japan's short-staffed public health system. The scandal reveals a deep-seated cultural bias in the country against the employment of mothers. Our correspondents report.
